Planning for panel three

So planning is under way for panel three

I have a few ideas with what I want to do with panel three but its been hard trying to look for artist models. Seeing this panel is all about me (not trying to sound vain) I was thinking of using the idea of modeling as my mum would do in her younger years. Props are going to have a pretty big impact in panel three and what I am wanting to use is windows and mirrors as a reflection of my mum and maybe even use clocks as time passing so I am going to have to do some shopping for that.

I am also wanting to use black and white in these photos but I don't know if its going to work seeing that my work so far is blue tinted and it might look abit out of place so I need advice on that part.

Planning on doing a photo shot sometime this weekend or during next week when I am on exam leave.

Panel one and two I love so much and I feel that panel three need to be even better so I want to go all out for it!

A litte note: I feel that panel one and two just dont look right together.. Maybe its just me, but I feel that panel one is to out there if you know what I mean. So im going to do some colour correcting and get rid of some of the black frames around the photos.

What my board look like so far...

WOW, its been ages since I have blogged. Been really busy editing these photos and now I have finish panel two! :D I am really proud with these photos to and I am glad to say that I am now planning panel three!

Panel one I am done editing with but panel two still might need some work. The very first photo of my mum I will have to take again because of the lighting is different from all the rest and the photos of my mums and my arm as it is to dark. but other then that I am really proud of this!

Planning for half of panel 2

Here is my plan for the last half of panel two. Im using the artist models Duane Michals and David Hilliard but using a-bit of Eadweard Muybridge. 

Michals uses shuttle speed which I am wanting to introduce in my work. Hilliard use with the white lines and Muybirdge's use with the grids.

The first picture I want to show the use of arms, the meaning behind this is reaching out to each other. The other photos have the same idea.

What panel one looks like...

so here is what panel 1 looks like! im pretty proud of it too..  

Research - Duane Michals

Duane Michals is an American photographer. Michals's work makes innovative use of photo-sequences, often incorporating text to examine emotion and philosophy. His use in shutter speed and grids really got my attention and I may use these techniques in panel two.  

This is want I want to do in the last half of panel two. I like the idea of using flowers in my photos, add on another flower in each shot.

I am going to use this technique in the first half of panel 2, having a long shot then have a faded close up on top.

 Last half of panel two idea using shuttle speed.

Panel two idea using a grid. Using different body gestures and facial expressions to tell a story. 

Took photos...

Holidays at the moment and doing work at school! haha

Anyway, I took some really good photos a few weeks ago and they turned out soooo good! I was really proud of them and I am without a doubt using some of these photos. But, the bad thing is is that they DO NOT relate in anyway to the artist models I am using for panel two. I knew in some way this would happen so now I need to look up more artist models that relate to my work so far. 

Here is a spreedsheet of my last photo shot.: 

Panel two layout plan!!!

The other day I came up with some idea's on what I want to do in panel two and how its going to be layed out and this is what I came up with...

I have deiced to introduce myself into my work as a reflection of my mum's younger years. I also thought it would be alittle easier to do as well seeing that my mum is a pretty busy person, so that means taking photo's shouldn't be a problem. Taking the photos of myself will be a bit of a mission so a tripod will be needed to be able to take them. 

The first row will be moving from my mums face to mind. The middle photo will be spilt, half my mum and half me. This will be close up shots and showing different emotions. 

The second row is going to be interesting, at home I has this red vintage-looking certain which I thought would look amazing in my work. The frist two photos will be of my mum and the last two me and a long shot will be used. The rest of the photos concise of mid and long shots in my long hallway I have at home. The photos at the bottom will be a panning shot. Seeing my mums room is right beside mine im going to pan from hers to mine, which should be interesting. Seeing panel three is going to be in black and white, panel two is going to slowly go from a bright contrast to black and white.
